Use of dataTables Plugin !!

Use of dataTables Plugin !!

Hello Everyone
I am a java developer and new to jQuery. I have made a an application which implements dataTable api of jQuery. What i have observed is that this api bring all the data to the client at once (using json).
Suppose we have 2000 entries in data base , then it would fetch all 2000 entries at once to the client ..which is not a good thing .
My Question : Can we bring data in chunks . eg: when the table loads it fetches first 10 rows of the database table. And when i click "next" , the request should to the server and fetches next 10 entries form the database..

Is this kind of functionality possible using jQuery ?
Thanks!!!
